Diversity, equity and inclusion support: Funding Plus case studies

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust

We're sharing case studies of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) work paid for through Funding Plus to help anyone looking to commission or embark on similar work.

The case studies showcase a broad range of DEI approaches featuring consultancy, facilitation, community engagement, training on autism awareness and trauma informed working, storytelling, and having difficult conversations. We're grateful to Centre for Sustainable Energy, The Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, and The Jericho Foundation for their honesty and insights.

A review of DEI support

This follows research we commissioned to review DEI support accessed by organisations we fund through Funding Plus. We're also holding a Q&A webinar on 14 October where we'll be joined by the authors, Luminance Insight, Tharani Learning and Research, and Thriving Together, and organisations who received DEI support.
